<![CDATA[Password not synchronized in Ubuntu]]>I've installed the most recent version of Opera in Ubuntu 20.04 and I've activated "Synchronize all".

Everything is correctly synchronized except passwords, even if they are marked. I've tried to logout - login, to select manually the password sync...but nothing works.

In any other device (Windows, Android) the passwords are perfectly synchronized.

Any idea? thanks.

There is the option to specify which type to use on the command line, if you frequently change desktop environments.

Happened to me today (on OpenSUSE) when switching from one desktop environment to another. Your solution (delete everything from ~/.cache/opera and ~/.config/opera, importing passwords from a CSV file and turning on sync afterwards) worked. Maybe that different desktop environments have different encryption services and that messed up the configs?

Now everything is working, even password sync. 😁

Thanks for your support everyone.

Then, importing should work and perhaps syncing of the passwords will work then too.

Something seems broken in password management in the Ubuntu version.

Error: MergeSyncData@components/password_manager/core/browser/sync/password_sync_bridge.cc:363, datatype error was encountered: Failed to load entries from password store. Encryption service failure.

Something seems wrong. Thanks for your support.
